The Prince Who Was Raised in Hell

Chapter 308

After Omar and Maya explained, Caspian finally understood the ins and outs of the matter. After learning that the monsters slaughtered villages, the Heavenly Stars Sect immediately sent its elders to suppress it. In just a day, they effectively contained the monsters that slaughtered the villages and besieged towns. However, due to the large scope of monsters besieging towns, and it was relatively scattered, it might be an overreaction if the Heavenly Stars Sect sent out their elders or higher-level disciples.

The matter was already under control, so the Heavenly Stars Sect simply handed over the remaining task of eliminating the monsters to the apprentices, which also consisted of wild beasts.

Wild beasts were equivalent to True Martial Realm warriors, whereas monsters were equivalent to Pulse Control Realm cultivators. Since the Heavenly Stars Sect’s elders eliminated the powerful monsters, the remaining ones were only as powerful as apprentices. That way, the apprentices also had an opportunity for actual combat while they eradicated monsters.

Not only that, but the Heavenly Stars Sect was also extremely generous with the reward of the mission. As long as they could kill a monster, they would get one sect contribution points. As for wild beasts, they needed to kill five to get one sect contribution points. Then, the disciple could choose what to do with the corpses. With that, the benefits reaped after killing a monster were far more than just getting one sect contribution points. Hence, that was much more appropriate than doing those tiresome ordinary tasks every month, but only getting a few sect contribution points in the end.

Thus, as soon as the mission was deployed, many apprentices hurried over. After all, the number of monsters was limited. They not only had to fight against the disciples of the same sect but also from other South Earlington’s sects. Furthermore, the monsters would surely be insufficient for all of the disciples, so it was better for them to go sooner to prevent larger competitions and smaller rewards.

Due to that, Omar and the others immediately contacted each other after learning of the mission and looked for Caspian.

“Sure, but…” Caspian looked at the three of them.

Omar, Maya, and Solana, including Caspian himself, were ranked in the top ten of the recent spiritual apprentice list ranking competition. Based on their strength, they would not encounter danger if they went alone. However, not only were they teaming up, but they also invited Caspian along. That meant they plotted something that was not as simple as an ordinary disciple killing three monsters to finish the task.

“If the four of us are going together, there must be a big plan behind this, right?” Caspian asked.

“I knew you would’ve guessed it easily,” Omar clapped and smiled brightly, “You’re right. If the four of us head out together, it’d be too wasteful if we search for the wild beasts slowly like the other disciples. We might as well complete the mission alone. Since we’re teaming up, then we should directly go to where the monsters gather and kill about dozens of them at one go. That way, we won’t need to waste unnecessary time on the journey, and we’ll also be more efficient than others.”

Caspian nodded. Omar’s thoughts coincided with him, but he had another question. “Then, how do we know where the monsters gather?”

“Maya knows best.” Omar smiled mysteriously.

Maya did not keep them on tenterhooks and directly retrieved a map. At a glance, Caspian noticed that it was a map of the southern area of Earlington of Efrax, and there were many symbols and circles marked on it.

As Caspian led troops to battles before, he saw countless maps, and he even drew a few. Hence, Caspian could quickly tell that the markings on the map were the location and time of the monsters’

appearances.

Based on the location of the villages on the map and the speed of the monsters, it was possible to roughly infer the range where they might appear at present. Then, Caspian and the rest would go directly to that area, and they would not be like other disciples who blindly traveled.

Since Omar and the others were all so well prepared, Caspian immediately agreed as he also intended to test his strength through actual combat. However, Caspian still needed to make some arrangements before they set off. Thus, they agreed to meet at the front of the mountain gate in the evening, and Caspian would still have six hours to prepare. After saying goodbye to Omar and the others, Caspian immediately headed to the mission pavilion to accept the task. Then, he hurriedly visited the Astrea Pavilion.

Before that, Caspian only spent dozens of sect contribution points exchanging for items. However, Caspian lavishly used up 500 sect contribution points in exchange for the various materials and equipment needed for the trip.

Like Omar mentioned before, Caspian was also aware that they were not only facing monsters at that time, but they might also fight against disciples of the same sect or even other sects.

As the battles before happened within the sect, they did not show the cruelty of the world of cultivators due to the existence of rules. That time, it was truly going to be Caspian’s first time fighting against other cultivators for resources, and the law of the jungle would mercilessly appear in front of Caspian.

If Caspian was careless, he might even lose his life. After all, there would not be any elders of the sect to watch over in that environment, and no one would save them once they noticed something was wrong.

As Caspian was a person who would prepare for the worst, the spending of the 500 sect contribution points directly stunned the disciple in charge. However, Caspian thought it was insufficient, and he added other materials worth 100 sect contribution points. In the end, Caspian spent 600 sect contribution points as preparation for his first encounter with the law of the jungle in the world of cultivators. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

In the evening, Caspian met up with Omar and the rest. Then, they headed to the location where the massacre first took place, Wellspring Village. It would take everyone at least fifteen days and nights of walking to arrive at Wellspring Village from the Heavenly Stars Sect. Nonetheless, everyone was well prepared for the mission.

Firstly, they entered the town. Then, using their identities as the Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples coupled with a few spirit stones, they headed toward the transportation array between the cities.

That way, they saved more than half of their time and came to the vicinity of Wellspring Village six days later.

The places where the monsters’ massacres took place were at least more than ten days away from Heavenly Stars Sect. In comparison, Wellspring Village was relatively close. Nonetheless, that was also logical. Unless those monsters were foolish enough, they would not have caused trouble right under the Heavenly Stars Sect’s nose. If that were the case, the monsters would be killed before even reaching the mountain gate of the Heavenly Stars Sect.
